Alpine CDA-9815; Possible to change illumination color?

[DarrenE46 10+ year member]

Hey guys I just installed this HU in my car and I absolutley love it! Only thing that I dont like is that it doesn't match the amber lights in my BMW. I notice that when I go to the crossover settings that the buttons change to an amber color. Is there any way to change the buttons to this color all the time? I tried searching but didn't find anything conclusive. I appreciate your help!

with all the cool functions of the deck like display black-out and turning off the deck's amp you'd figure it could do that, but it doesn't //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

go to "owner's manuals" and then "head units"...then "cd head unit" and finally "archived owner's manual cd head units"

then scroll down and pick your manual!

Ive got the same HU and its true, I LOVE IT. Bought it brand new in 03 and it still works like a charm, but like u, I have a kind of red theme so the blue is a bit odd, even though it still looks great. Is there anybody out there that has done this? I thought about opening up the back, Ill try it tomorro and c what happens. If you find out or anybody knows can someone help?

well, you could open the faceplate and replace the lights in it... i remember seeing guys here doing this... and the result was perfect...
